I've just started paper patching, and I'm curious about how to develop loads for these rounds.
I've got two bullets, dropping from the same 6.5mm mold, one is lead free, and it drops at 135 gr, the other is pure lead, and it drops at 190. The 190 is considerably heavier than any other projectile available in 6.5.
My rifle is a Type 44 Arisaka chambered in 6.5 x 51 (6.5 Japanese). My first inclination was to take about 20% off of the starting powder charge for 160 gr jacketed and to work up from there...
